Kozak might have had the same source last year.  Never came to be.  At this point, will believe it when see it.  
 

I think it is best to leave fans in dark in situations like this.  Think of all the horrible things that can happen if shared a little info.  Fans are needy little babies.

What horrible things could possibly happen?

Disappearing act? How about the Michigan State Spartans? Can we please get Metcalf in my here asap?! They are getting like 2 billion dollars to upgrade their facilities, would be nice to have a good team.

If MSU is upgrading their facilities I can't help but think they will be trying to upgrade the wrestling program as well.

The plan is to renovate Jenison and move wrestling there full time. Where in Jenison? Who knows. They still have to share with volleyball and gymnastics.

It's still a good sign. I wonder whom MSU will try to recruit as coach?

I don’t know.  But there has to be really horrible things.  Otherwise, coaches would be more friendly to any fan base they have or wish to have.

Couldn't be a more slam dunk hire, but I can't imagine him making the jump unless the school is ready to seriously support the program.

I think all you can ask for is the commitment to upgrading the facilities. Which it seems to be happening. Currently a very small number is being donated/NIL's to MSU wrestling. That has to be a huge goal of administration and athletic director, along with the new staff they would hire. 

Metcalf or whoever should have a lot people wanting to get MSU in the mix, as they should be.

MSU should be considered one of the most attractive jobs in NCAA wrestling.  There is a storied history, incredible potential, and nowhere to go but up.

Their budget already got cut down to only paying for two assistant coaches so hard to know if there's going to be too much additional investment into the program

Sparty- the problem is they probably bring in the least amount money in the Big 10, if you hire a real coach, that wouldn't happen.
